Reeded / fluted glass internal doors

2 years ago

I'm having a nightmare trying to find reeded glass internal doors. Apparently this glass isn't very popular but I love it.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Picture to show what I love but will look at any internal reeded glass doors
Otherwise I'll probably have to put reeded film on plain glass but not sure if that will good good

There’s this one you can buy (seems widely available but price differs a fair bit)

However Pilkington make the glass. You could have a joiner make the door to your preferred style and hopefully your local glazier could supply and fit the glass

Buy the door and get the glass separately from a glaziers. I remember that glass being fashionable in the 60s

Sorry I haven't read the comments (too many) but if you are considering keeping them, I'd send them off and get them dipped. If they come back in one piece then go from there. It may be they come back with a lot of damage, some panels may need to come out - but you can always update with fluted glass panels etc. If they come back and were full of filler etc and bad condition then sand, fill, sand again and paint a dark shade. You can make them look beautiful if you want to. It may be they come back in good condition! In which case you can stain and keep natural. I'd probably replace all the hardware though.

Your picture isn’t showing up. Have you looked on the LPD Doors website and also J B Kind. They are 2 of the UK’s major distributors but only sell to trade but will advise you of your nearest dealer. You need to state sizes on your post too in case they are not standard imperial or metric doors and in which case you need them made by a joiner. Even if the glass is not what you want this could be swapped

I had a 60's bungalow with these windows and needed to remove one when combining a bathroom and loo. In my opinion simply boarding over the frame would look a mess. To do the job properly I had to carefully remove the old brittle glass. Cut back the frame and create a rebate. Insert an additional stud, board over and skim with plaster. It's quite a fiddle but the materials are cheap if you have the tools and time. I employed a plasterer for skimming. I would strongly advise leaving things as they are, changing the glass if you prefer and spending your money elsewhere. If your other half can't live with the transom windows, and looking at your photos I would remove glass and frames, insert additional studs, board and skim. You could then extend the cornice right round the room but you might have to move the loft hatch over too. If you are considering altering your stairs your balustrade doesn't look like it would pass current building regulations. For child safety you must not be able to pass a tennis ball through any of the gaps. You don't have to change it but most professionals would want any upgrade to meet current regulations. Good luck with your new house.

Haven't come across a reeded glass door that looks similar to what you've shared but I'm sure it can be custom made by a joiner for your exact specifications. Alternatively, you can DIY it using the film linked below: https://www.vinyldepot.co.uk/products/stripes-d-c-fix-self-adhesive-vinyl-675mm-2m?currency=GBP&variant=32034696855619&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Google Shopping&utm_campaign=gs-2020-03-31&utm_source=google&utm_medium=smart_campaign&gclid=Cj0KCQiAxoiQBhCRARIsAPsvo-y5-BDC4Oo29QvpfvZvbLj6Kyf6oYCOPXz09GeK9VaHaJHSWNrFNR4aAnytEALw_wcB Best of luck!

Thanks for the help Daisy & Minnie

Yes I didn't think it was that unusual as fluted glass is on trend now but yet I can't get the doors. Looks like it will be a glazier job

I’ve been looking for a fluted vanity, I’ve found a couple of really expensive ones but the same think i’ll have to use a joiner :( At least you get the exact design I suppose!
